Activity 12: Limitations and Delimitations
Activity Description
Describe Limitations, Delimitations, and Assumptions for your study: Limitations reflect possible weaknesses in the study. The candidate must address the limitations over which they have no control. For various reasons, limitations of the study may be determined by such factors as a convenience sample meaning using participants that are not randomly selected which limits the generalizability or the transferability of the results.
The candidate must address delimitation factors for the study. They serve to narrow the scope of the study to focus on specific criteria or to delimit to specific groups or locations. Delimitations are the aspects of the study that you have built in to limit the study. Delimitations can include but are not limited to geographic location, population of focus, age, gender, or focus of research. You should have a clear differentiation between the limitations and delimitations in this section.
Assumptions regarding the study method will be presented. Quantitative studies must include assumptions associated with the analysis process identified in the purpose.
Please refer to the Doctoral Project Manual and template for additional information on Chapter One.
